Karaoké Home (1989 version) Stephanie Mills

When I think of home

I think of a resting place

A place where there's peace quiet and serenity

And that's where some of my friends have gone

Friends who have traveled with me through my wonderful experience in Oz

A journey I'll never forget

When I think of home

I think of a place where's there's love overflowing

I wish I was home

I wish I was back there with the things

I've been knowing

Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning

Suddenly the raindrops that fall they have a meaning

Sprinkling the scene makes it all clean

Maybe there's a chance for me to go back now that I have some direction

It sure would be nice to be back at home where there's love and affection

And just maybe I can convince time to slow up

Giving me enough time ooh in my life to grow up

Time be my friend and let me start again

Suddenly my world's gone and changed its fate but I still know where I'm going

I have had my mind spun around in space and yeah

I've watched it growing

And oh if You're listening God please don't make it hard

To know if we should believe the things that we see

And tell us should we try and stay or should we run away

Or would it be better just to let things

Let them be oh

Living here in this brand new world might be a fantasy

But it's taught me to love

Oh yeah

So it's real, it's so real

It's real to me

And I've learned that we must look inside our hearts to find

A world full of love like yours, like mine

Like home

Like, like home

My friends smiling down on me

Giving me their energy oh

I dream of a peaceful world and joy all around me yeah

And love that we share can never never ever be taken away from me

Yeah yeah yeah

I just sit down and think

Gets on down in my bone, bone yeah

I can hear my friends telling me

Stephanie please sing my song

I wanna sing

I wanna shout

I wanna tell you what it's all about

Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
